TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

When Hilary Swank was living as a man to prepare for the role of Brandon Teena, her neighbors believed that the young man coming and going from Swank's home (Swank in male character) was her visiting brother.

Hilary Swank won the lead role of Brandon/Teena after hundreds of other actresses had been considered and rejected over the course of three years. She told director Kimberly Peirce that, like her character, she was also 21 and came from Lincoln, Nebraska. But she was fibbing, and when Pierce later confronted her with the lies, she responded, "But that's what Brandon would do."

To prepare for her role, Hilary Swank lived life as a man for at least a month, including wrapping her chest in tension bandages and putting socks down the front of her pants much the same way that Brandon Teena did.

Hilary Swank was paid about 3,000 USD for her role. Her fee was so low she couldn't afford insurance.

Brendan Sexton III who played Tom was very distressed when filming the rape scene which was being filmed at night, he was eventually left in tears after filming it.

Popular Dialogues

"Nicole: You don't seem like you're from around here. Brandon: Where... where do I seem like I'm from? Nicole: Someplace... beautiful."
